England Rugby is introducing major changes to mini and junior rugby in September 2016.
These changes have impacted on the competitions the LRU are able to provide and the dates we are able to schedule these events.
In summary for the season 2016 – 2017 the LRU will provide the following Competitions:-
U7-13
We will run Festivals and Waterfall Tournaments for Age Grades U9-U13 as well as our traditional Tag Festival.
Our Competitions Team will advise the dates for the forthcoming season.
Junior U14 – U18
U14-U17 Knockout Cup and Plate
U18 Colts League and Lawrence Fenton Cup
Regulation 15 has recently been updated and available on the RFU and LRU Website.
To ensure that we are all clubs are prepared for the changes the RFU are running several well advertised coaching sessions for AGR Coaches to attend. The LRU Age Grade Team and RFU Officers in the county are able to answer any queries arising.
It would be good to see all clubs represented at the courses - this is your chance to gain knowledge that you will need next season.
You can also visit the England Rugby Age Grade Rugby 2016 website which will give you all the details.
This information has also been sent to representatives of all clubs running a Age Grade Section.
If you have any queries then please do get in touch with any of your Age Grade Team.
